Congratulations from Gainsborough

Lesley RollingsWell done all of you! - You were brilliant!

You achieved this despite the sustained, biased reporting from the BBC, which is something we should take very seriously, I think.

The attack on Nick Clegg, timed to perfection, the week before, dominated the morning news, indeed all the news.

How did the Tories manage to pull out a 4 year old story and manipulate the BBC in this way?

On the Monday after we lost the Triple A rating, nothing was reported on this and there has been no focus on George Osbourne all week.

Even the announcements of the results have centred around Tory damage limitation and the BBC continues to put down Nick Clegg at every opportunity, on a daily basis.

I believe that this is going to be a real problem for us at the general election and that we need to start lobbying at the highest level and in the most organised way for greater independence at the BBC, before it's too late.

Any ideas?

Well done, again guys, for winning this election.

You have made my week!!
